Background technology
Along with the develop rapidly of electronic technology, the digital product of feature richness fly into already ordinary other, frivolous, portable wearable electronic equipment becomes the new focus attracted the attention of millions of people.Produce style different, the electronic equipment of comfortable wearing, a display device that can bend and even can fold is indispensable.The display device that we use at present is all generally inflexibility or folding, and has inadequate natural endowment in weight, portability, impact resistance etc., cannot meet the demand of the more renewals of people.And there is the favor that the plurality of advantages flexible display devices such as ultralight, ultra-thin, rollable, portable, shock resistance start to be subject to people, one of important development direction becoming following display technique.Countries in the world manufacturer enthusiasm in the preparation of curve flexibility display part is surging, and has obtained certain achievement, and as Samsung, the LG of Korea S, the Sony etc. of Japan has all been proposed the product such as mobile phone, TV with curved-surface display.But they are still substrate with hard material, not yet realize the flexible effect that can bend arbitrarily, and employing is self luminous OLED, power dissipation ratio is higher, and on the wearing electronic equipment that electricity is limited, application can't reach desirable effect.Realize the display of low-power consumption, reflective display technique is one of optimal selection, and the wetting display technique of electricity is a member important in reflective display, is the reflective display technique of one that can realize video and colored display.
The wetting display of electricity refers to by changing the voltage be applied between liquid-solid electrode, change the interfacial tension between liquid and solid, thus change liquid realizes the driving of liquid and the change of space distribution at the contact angle of solid surface, finally reach the function of transmitted light or reflected light being carried out to photoswitch, complete display.Its ultimate principle is: the contact angle being changed liquid in display unit by impressed voltage, and then the distribution changing liquid, finally reaches the function of transmitted light or reflected light being carried out to switch.Three this type of switches are applied in the three primary colours (RGB) of color respectively, by reaching colored display object to the switch of these three kinds of colors and color assignment.This display can utilize extraneous light source, and can only need luminous place to carry out energy drives, and therefore it has the series of advantages such as energy consumption is low, rich color, volume are little, the response time is short.Be a kind of reflective display because electricity soaks display, in energy consumption, health and chromaticity, have outstanding performance, be therefore broadly considered one of following main flow display technique.
Shown in the single dot structure (as Fig. 1) of electric moistening display part, be made up of parts such as infrabasal plate 2, electrode layer 3, drain insulating layer 5, pixel wall 4, ink 6, water 7, upper substrates 1.In display device structured material except upper and lower substrate, current other materials is fluent material or macromolecular material, all has flexible nature.Existing electric moistening display part upper and lower base plate is generally the hard substrates such as glass, can only make flat-panel display device, can not make flexible flexible display device, hinder the development of flexible electrical moisten display part.
